I was just listening to this song and thinking about people I can no longer see 😕.
I know many of you have those folks in your lives as well.
Please enjoy 🙂

"When power fears the light, truth is the only torch left standing."

We have never seen a presidency as criminal, lawless, and corrupt as the fascist authoritarian Trump regime. No other presidency is even close. 😳👇

Phang: Bove knows he’s not a regular citizen anymore. Judges are bound by different rules of conduct than an average Joe or Jane citizen.

So for Bove to say that he was there in his “private capacity” or even his “public citizen” capacity is bunk and bullshit.

BREAKING: DOJ has failed to indict Letitia James for a THIRD time! It's like Christmas around here!
Do it. Take these to another grand jury. Then a 2nd and a 3rd, until we get a breaking news story about how much you suck at this. And if you do manage to get a true bill, we can watch you lose again in pretrial motions. Do it! I live to watch you lose! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
DOJ deciding whether to seek new Comey, James indictments
The department could forgo an appeal of Lindsey Halligan’s disqualification and instead seek to bring new charges against James Comey and Letitia James.

Oh, someone had a nice Paris dinner! Someone went to the tennis! Someone kept the airline slippers! Shock! Horror! No, Australian media. This is what actual corruption looks like. Take a good look.

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

Regarding some troll comments. Average wait time for a set up in the area is 2 weeks/3 months. Ours are done in most cases in 48 hours. Some adjustments take hours. Wood can take days to settle and we get several instruments to set up each week. Anyway, enjoy this latest rehab. 🖕😈 #guitarssetup

If telling troops they must disobey unlawful orders is sedition, you’re gonna have to hang all the military academy instructors, boot camp drill instructors and training manual authors, along with every member of congress that authorized the UCMJ by voting yes on the most recent NDAA.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”
